On Tuesday, a corrections officer gave evidence and told the jury that, while being processed into Sydney’s Silverwater jail the day after the body was recovered, she asked Stein: “Did you do it?” Mutten was in a relationship with Stein at the time and the pair had planned to get married, the jury previously heard.
Police approached Sweeney afterwards to ask if Stein had said anything to her during the interview, which she described as highly unusual.
